Value Collection 03308020 Compression Spring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03308020 is a stainless steel compression spring designed for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring consistent force over a short travel range. The spring measures 0.3 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.5 inches and a wire diameter of 0.02 inches. It delivers a spring rate of 1.12 lb/in and supports a maximum work load of 1.19 pounds. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. This spring is installed by mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly workers across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This compression spring fits into standard spring pockets or bores with a recommended hole diameter of 0.313 inches. Its compact form factor and low spring rate make it well suited for light clamping, valve return, switch reset, and general mechanical tensioning applications. The solid height of 0.196 inches allows for adequate compression travel within confined assemblies. It is commonly used in fluid handling, instrumentation, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical devices where a small-diameter, corrosion-resistant spring is required.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Outside diameter of 0.3 inches fits standard small-bore spring pockets
• Free length of 1.5 inches with a solid height of 0.196 inches for defined compression range
• Spring rate of 1.12 lb/in provides consistent, predictable force output
• Maximum work load rated at 1.19 pounds for light-duty load applications
• Wire diameter of 0.02 inches for fine-pitch coil construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension compression spring suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.3-inch OD, 1.5-inch free length stainless steel spring with a 0.313-inch recommended hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel as part of assembly or replacement work. Ensure the mating bore or spring pocket matches the recommended hole diameter of 0.313 inches before seating the spring. Depressurize or de-energize any assembly before removing or installing compression springs to prevent uncontrolled release. Do not compress the spring below its solid height of 0.196 inches during installation or operation.
